    Russ has clearly been the alpha on his team the entire month of January. If Harden is hurt the team
    needs to step in and get him under control and stop this nightmare because he is and will continue to kill the teams chances of winning playing like he has since qtr 1 of the Hawks game! Russ has been a straight up bad ass !!! I’m glad we’ve got this version of Russ now cause he is scary good !!!

    don't tell yourself you're hating. you're not. not everyone has to think everything is right when it comes to the rockets. it's perfectly fine being an objective fan where you don't have tunnel vision. harden had no business being out there after taking that KAT knee

    look, Jeremy Lin is certainly playing well, but is he really dragging our beloved ducks to victory? Give Ekpe Udoh some cred

    Now that was fun!!!! Russ, EGO and Rivers are getting better and better. Loving it!!! I think if you bottled up the energy Russ and Tucker bring to every game it could send a Rocket to the moon.

    "I am the cornerstone of the Rockets," said Westbrook. "The rest of the guys - Harden, House, Gordon, McLemore, Tucker, Capela - are role players or pieces that complete our team."

    :p

    This is exactly what Harden needed. Another guy to take the scoring burdon off of him when he is having a quiet night or patch of games.

    A bit of sour grapes, cause we ain't getting him again, but Covington never seems to shoot well when he plays the Rockets. Surprising.

    Big praise for Westbrook. I had no idea he'd carry the team like he has. Just no quit in the guy.

    Salty because Harden has Genghis Khan-ed them every time they play Minny.

    Its embarrassing how much Beard has owned them

    I listen to countless NBA podcasts, and during the past couple of weeks of our slump, so many ninnies getting off on Harden's bad performances. It's sick. But since he doesn't have many of them, you've got to get in on it when you can, I guess.

    Nice win. I’m officially worried about Harden but Westbrook has been unreal good lately.

    Harden will eventually get it going again (hopefully), so it should be fun seeing Russ, who seems to be getting more comfortable in this offense, with even "good" harden.

    Forward rotation is still ass, and the defense still trash, but it should be fun seeing harden and westbrook put up 70 points a night :p

    no need to worry about him, all players go through slumps. this is why we got Westbrook, he can help out with the scoring

    Which he hasn’t come close to in 15 games now, this isn’t just a slump, it’s a game in game out regularity now. Either he is hurt and if so should NOT be playing, or something more concerning is going on .... he’s been pretty awful now for almost 4 weeks !
